A former manager to two Mansfield banks has been charged in a $2 million embezzlement scheme.
     

Kevin J. Moore, 35, the former manager of Huntington National Bank and Key Bank in Mansfield, and Randy L. Meister, 60, of Mansfield, face criminal charges related to embezzlement and theft, according to Steven Dettlebach, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio..
 

A document filed in U.S. District Court states that Moore embezzled about $1.7 million from Huntington National Bank while he was manager there from August 2008 to November 2010.
 

Moore is also charged with wire fraud for allegedly defrauding an individual of $360,000 in a phony investment scheme.
 

Moore is also charged with bank fraud for opening lines of credit in Meister's name initially without his knowledge when he was the manager at Key Bank.

Meister later assisted Moore in cashing out advances on the lines of credit prior to Keybank's finding out about the alleged false deposits,
 

Meister is charged with allowing his name and property to be used to establish the bank accounts, obtain cash and conceal Moore's bank fraud.

The case is being prosecuted by the Mansfield office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division in Cleveland.
